Brexiteers hailed a 'historic moment' tonight after the Government won an overwhelming majority to start the process of leaving the EU by the end of March.
A total of 461 MPs backed a motion in favour of Theresa May's timetable for Brexit, while a similar number of MPs backed a move requiring the Government to publish its Brexit plan before it triggers Article 50 - the formal process for leaving the EU.
But remarkably, 89 MPs voted to block Brexit tonight, despite June's referendum delivering a record 17.4million votes in favour of quitting the EU.
The rebellion against Brexit was marginally higher than expected but the result delivered a major boost to the Prime Minister and represented the first ever Commons majority in favour of leaving the EU.
It came after a heated debate on Brexit in the Commons chamber that lasted more than six hours.
Nearly 90 MPs voted to block Brexit tonight in the first ever Commons motion calling for the EU divorce process to start by the spring
Speaker John Bercow announced the result of the vote at 7.15pm tonight, with 461 voting in favour of the Government's plan to trigger Article 50 by the end of March and 89 voting against - a majority of 372
Ken Clarke, during today's debate, mocked the Prime Minister: 'We will be told the ''plan'' is for a ''red, white and blue Brexit''... we need a white paper.'
Remain rebels vowed to vote against starting the Brexit process, with the Tory grandee Ken Clarke leading the resistance against the referendum result in a high profile Commons debate.
He was the only Conservative MP to vote against the motion, joining 23 Labour MPs, five Lib Dems, 51 SNP MPs and 10 others in trying to block the Government's plan to trigger Article 50 by the end of March.
The former Chancellor mocked Theresa May's 'red, white and blue Brexit' slogan and said ministers had no idea what they were doing.
A string of Labour MPs stood up to say they would vote against the majority tonight, insisting they would not give the Government a 'blank cheque' on Brexit.
MPs were warned they would be attempting to 'thwart' the will of the people if they refused to endorse Mrs May's plans tonight.
The run-up to the debate on a Labour opposition motion was dominated by a major U-turn from Mrs May.
Mr Clarke in the Commons today, gave the first signal of serious dissent, accusing ministers of having no idea how to go about delivering Brexit. Nicky Morgan, right, urged the Prime Minister to 'inspire' with a vision of Brexit would look like
The Prime Minister will now provide a 'plan' to MPs on her Brexit strategy - but in return has demanded the Commons endorse her planned timetable of invoking Article 50 of the EU treaties to start Brexit before the end of March.
Well against all the world leaders in politics and economics what they thought would not, could not happen, is now confirmed beyond doubt to become a reality!
For Bible Students this is a very exciting development in fulfilling Bible Prophecy. In fact it is the greatest sign of the nearness of Christ's Return since the Establishment of the Jewish State in 1948!
Over 3000 years ago Bible Prophecy laid out the alignment of nations at the time of the end and Britain was not to be part of the European Union.
So despite what any man may think or say what we have just witnessed here is what Daniel said in Daniel 4:17 "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will..."
And now we continue to see that despite any and all opposition, the current leaders of Britain are continuing to pursue BREXIT. So we continue to see the hand of God at work in the nations to ensure that His purpose unfolds on the earth. Britain will leave the EU of this we can be certain as this is a matter of Bible Prophecy. In the Bible, God has long said (2,500 yrs ago to be exact) that Britain will not be a part of the European Union when Russia and the EU invade the Middle East.
